Secretary of State Husted Announces July Business Profiles

COLUMBUS – Secretary of State Jon Husted today announced that as part of an ongoing effort to recognize the impact of Ohio businesses, July’s Ohio Business Profile encourages travelers from near and far to “take a tour” in Ohio.

“It’s summer vacation season and a fitting time to recognize the impact of tourism on Ohio’s economy,” Secretary Husted said. “The companies and attractions we are featuring this month contribute to a $38 billion industry that supports more than 439,000 Ohio jobs and generates $2.6 billion in state and local taxes.”*

Companies profiled this month include:

Columbus Zoo and Aquarium - Powell, Ohio – Ranked the #1 zoo in America and home to more than 10,000 animals.

Launched in June 2011, Ohio Business Profile has helped raise awareness about companies registered and doing business in Ohio that are creating interesting products, offering outstanding service, contributing to their local communities and employing Ohioans in the process. Each month, a handful of diverse businesses linked together by a common theme are featured on the Secretary of State’s website at OhioBusinessProfile.com, where Ohioans are encouraged to go to submit companies they feel are deserving of recognition in future months.

Secretary Husted’s office also releases a monthly report of new business filings in Ohio. Recent data has shown that the number of newly-registered businesses in Ohio is up for the year as compared to the same timeframe last year.
